The Bears converted a portion of Mack's salary to signing bonus to save cap space... or did they?
One of the major sticking points in any Wilson trade has got to be the $39M SB cap hit SEA will incur. What if the Bears offered them Mack and said they would pay a big portion of his salary this next season as a SB to make his salary extremely low next season. The Bears could convert $10M of his $17M salary for 2021 into a SB and then trade him to SEA and he would be a minuscule $7M cap hit to SEA next season.
